Windows 8.1 IE11 and the return-key

gordonwatts says:

I have IE11 and 8.1 installed on my RT tablet. The handling of the return key seems to be broken. I suspect this is because IE11 has changed its user-agent string and as a result old detection logic is no longer working.

Here is how to re-pro the problem:1. Load up the RTM website and log in.2. In the task entry area, type a new task.3. Hit "return" to enter the task. Nothing happens.

I'm not aware of a work around (if there is one please let me know, as it makes the web site not-useful on my tablet).

BTW, the return key has long been an issue in IE on your site. In particular, there is one other issue which keeps catching me. To repro the problem (I've not tested this in 8.1/IE11 - only in IE10):

1. Select a task you want to edit.2. select the tag list and start entering a new tag3. Hit enter to take advantage of auto-complete. - The whole web page reloads. If you'd typed other tags in the list they are list.

Many thanks for this site!!

P.S. I'm aware of one app in the store - it can't deal with large numbers of tasks.

I just tested the second issue in 8.1/IE11 - it works now! So in IE10 that is broken, but in IE11 it works. So if the first issue were corrected then I'd be a happy camper!

The return-key issue can also be reproduced with IE 11.0.9431.0 running on Win 7 SP1

I also found a workaround for this issue by using Alt+013 on the numeric pad instead of the return key. (again IE 11.0.9431.0 running on Win 7 SP1).

I was just coming to report the Enter button had stopped working on Opera too.
